Crabs and plants

0

I am working on starting a crab tank either fiddler or RCC and i was wondering what plants might be good in the lightly brakish water. ALso there will be a dwarf puffer possably. I was considering mangroves or something like that but my main consern is if they will just eat everything organic i put in there that cant get away. Anyone know?

Not that I've seen. If they start to rot then they will but that's just because there scavengers. And yes the puffer will go after the crabs. The mainly carnivores and like meaty foods thats why the have beaks, so they can break snail and crab shails.

hmm ok well puffer is out then. i knew they would go after snails but thanks for the crab attack heads up. if i just keep my plants healthy will they stay away from eatting them, also considering that they are well feed of coarse.
